Pakistan vs England 5th T20I Live Updates: Mark Wood has broken the firm of Babar and Rizwan early by sending back the Pakistan captain. Babar Azam had a chance to break Kohli’s record but he has to try again in the next match. Rizwan holds the key as always and will have to bat deep. Earlier, England captain Moeen Ali won the toss and opted to field in the 5th T20I. After a thrilling Karachi leg of the series, which saw Pakistan level the series twice against England, the focus now shifts towards the final three games of the series at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Pakistan’s young pacer Naseem Shah was taken to hospital with an infection and will miss the game. Naseem’s availability for the rest of the seven-match series will be decided after assessing his medical reports. Meanwhile, England could welcome captain Jos Buttler for the remaining games as he also looks to get some playing time ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia. (LIVE SCORECARD)
